Children's Pain

Background and Objective: Evaluation of the severity of pain in children can help the medical team diagnose the type of disease. In this study, anxiety and pain intensity in children were examined based on self-report. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in 2018 on 300 children aged 3 to 12 years, referring to outpatient treatment centres in Kerman. To measure the severity of pain felt by children, FPS-R was used. The level declared by children was evaluated by the pain intensity estimated by parents and doctors using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and the standard FLACC (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale) for correlation. The data were analysed using SPSS software version 25. Results: The pain reported by children was obtained by VAS (4.16 ± 3.49), and the estimated pain by the doctor was obtained by FPS-R (2.87±1.68). The pain severity estimated by the doctor using FLACC had the highest correlation with the pain estimated by the doctor using VAS and the lowest correlation with the pain estimated by the mother using VAS. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that FPS-R could be used as a suitable self-report tool in children and, along with the standard FLACC, can help the medical team recognize the severity of children's pain.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the perception of buccal corridor width on smile esthetics by Orthodontic residents, General dentists and Laypersons. METHODOLOGY: A smile photograph was taken of an adult female. The image was modified to obtain five different buccal corridor widths and were assessed by different evaluators grouped into general dentist, orthodontic resident and laypersons who rated the attractiveness of each smile by means of a visual analog scale (VAS). Sample size was 97 participants to rate the picture. Non-probability purposive sampling was done The data was analyzed and mean and SD were calculated for the scores of rating. ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test was applied to compare the different ratings of buccal corridors in three groups. The data of this cross sectional study was collected from general population belonging to different communities, general dentists and orthodontic residents of different dental colleges of Karachi, Pakistan from August 2019 to March 2020. RESULTS: There were 97 participants who responded to the images. Highest scores were obtained for Image 1 having buccal corridor width ratio of 16% followed by image no. 3 having buccal corridor width ratio of 10% and lowest scores were obtained for Image no. 6 having least buccal corridor widths ratio that is 34% followed by image no 5 having 26% buccal corridor widths. Among the groups of participants, the highest scores were given by laypersons for all images. Significant differences were observed between evaluation of groups of Orthodontic resident and layperson in most images. CONCLUSION: There was a remarkable influence of buccal corridor width on smile esthetics, with the 16% ratio group being rated as the most attractive by all three groups.

Objective: Evaluation the relation between age at the time of diabetes diagnosis and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody in non- overweight, obese diabetic individuals. Method: A cross-sectional study on 284 non overweight- obesity diabetic patients at Hue Central hospital from August 2017 to August 2019. All patients were measured autoantibodies glutamic acid decarboxylase (anti-GAD). GAD antibody- positive was determined when autoantibodies to GAD concentration was higher than 5 IU/mL. Clinical data (age, sex, weight, hight) were obtained. Age at the time of diabetes diagnosis was interviewed. Data were analysed by SPSS version 16.0 and Medcalc software. Results: The risk of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody- positive in non- overweight, obese diabetic individuals increased 2.7 time when aged at the time of diabetes diagnosis 50 and older. The cut-off of age at the time of diabetes diagnosis for detecting risk of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody- positive in non- overweight, obese diabetic individuals was 57. Conclusion: This study showed non- overweight, obese diabetic individuals should be screened for glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody at aged 50 and older

Objective. Evaluation of the pruritus features in children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who underwent dialysis at an academic tertiary pediatric dialysis center. Methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted at an academic tertiary pediatric dialysis center, Isfahan, Iran. The reviewed medical records of the children included their characteristics, dialysis properties, and laboratory parameters. The 4-item itch questionnaire was utilized to assess distribution, severity, frequency, and associated sleeping disorders. Results. Thirty ESRD patients with pruritus, including 23 males (76.7%) with a mean age of 11.7 ± 3.64 years, were recruited. The most common cause of CKD was nephronophthisis (23.3%). The median total score of pruritus was 5 (range: 3-15). The distribution score of pruritus was directly correlated with the age (Spearman’s rho = 0 .42, P = 0.02 ) and serum level of parathyroid hormone (PTH) (Spearman’s rho = 0.42 , P = 0.04 ). In the reduced multiple logistic regression model, the increasing level of serum calcium was associated with increased odds of having total   pruritus   score ≥ 5 (OR (odds ratio): 4.5; 95% CI 1.12 to 18.05). In addition, an increase in age for one year was found to be associated with 50% higher odds of having total   pruritus   score ≥ 5 (OR: 1.5; 95% CI 1.03 to 2.18). Conclusion. Increased level of serum Ca and higher age were associated with increased odds of having more severe pruritus score in children.
